Creator's Key Takeaways

The shows on a Disney cruise are fantastic, but they are not Broadway caliber. Having seen actual multiple Disney Broadway shows in New York City, the Disney Cruise Line shows... don't get me wrong, they are incredible

The pool deck food is hands down superior to the buffets on all classes of ship except for the Adventure cuz I've not been on that.

I think that the photo package, while it is pricey, is absolutely worth every cent.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Skip the embarkation day buffet and head to guest services or the kids club first to avoid crowds.

✓The photo package is worth the cost to ensure you are actually in family photos.

✓Attend the DVC talks to get complimentary water bottles and small freebies.

Nassau port days being empty — Don't rely on that tip; the ship is often not empty during Nassau days anymore.

Photo packages being too expensive — It is absolutely worth every cent so you aren't just taking selfies of your kids.

YouTube Video Description↓

Let’s be honest: half the fun of being a Disney Cruise Line loyalist is debating which experiences are truly the best. After multiple sailings, my family navigates the ships a little differently than most. Today, I'm sharing my personal, highly debatable cruise choices—from why we prefer the classic layout of the Magic class over the newer mega-ships, to why we actually choose the pool deck over the standard buffet. 🚢 WATCH THESE DISNEY CRUISE VIDEOS NEXT: Must Pack Items for Summer: https://youtu.be/1yNuctZJ9yQ Disney Destiny Full Tour: https://youtu.be/sjm5iwC6RIY 00:00 - Disney Cruise Hot Takes 00:12 - Disney Cruise Nighttime Entertainment 00:53 - Skip the fireworks 01:23 - Water Slides on Disney Cruise Line 02:09 - Pirate Night 02:48 - Pridelands on the Destiny 03:36 - Lookout Cay vs Castaway Cay 04:03 - Nassau Day on Disney Cruise Line 04:28 - Disney Cruise Photo Package 04:50 - Disney Magic has best layout 05:24 - Adult-only areas are too big 06:19 - Disney Cruises do not have casinos 06:31 - Kids Club are for family time 07:05 - Kids Club on Disney Magic are the best 07:47 - Do not go to the buffet when you get on board 08:14 - Pool deck food on Disney Cruise 08:44 - The DVC talks 09:08 - Lanyards are overrated 09:32 - Disney Cruise Hot Takes ***************************************** Check out our other platforms: Instagram: @DisneyMomLife1 & @JonWinthrop Twitter: @DisneyMomLife1 & @JonWinthrop ***************************************** #DisneyCruise #DisneyCruiseLine #DisneyCruiseTips #Cruising #DisneyVacation #TravelTips
